1988 Ford Bronco 4x4 351 Auto

[ascCapri]

Hey all,

My girlfriend is hoping to get rid of her Bronco as she is going to school and unable to work. It has been at my house for a year or so as it needs some work. Namely a bumper and an exhaust leak fixed.

Details:
148k- runs and drives great
Eddie Bauer Edition
Tan interior (could use a cleaning, but in great shape)
Got trans and torque converter and exhaust less than 10k miles ago
Has exhaust leak at Y-pipe or header
Rust in the usual rear quarters and tailgate
Clear Coat flaking from hood and roof
Front bumper has dent from an off-road excursion, where I straddle a dirthill and dented it at 2-3 MPH. No frame damage, just bumper. Have a line on a bumper with heavy duty grill guard (I think with winch-mount) if price is right.
New steering box-was really sloppy.
Nice 96 Bronco wheels with newer tires.

Just hoping to get it out of the way, as I have no time for it now. $2000 OBO

I'm going to troubleshoot the Oil Pressure gauge. It doesn't move at all.....the truck always had ~mid pressure, and did a compression test around the time of the trans. Gauge doesn't move a bit when you turn the key, so I think it's just the sensor.

so it does have a new trans then? not just tq converter

[ascCapri]

Correct, both were done.

[98cobradan]

just wondering but is this the same bronco that was sitting at lowes on wilmington 2day??

[ascCapri]

No sir it was not, I tried to get it going again on Saturday.....pulled a battery from my daily as the trolling motor battery has no urge to charge:bangwall:

In any case, I put maybe 8 miles on it up to the store, food and back....

does it have heat?

[snotzs135]

what kind of gas milage did you get out of this thing?

[aperacer]

not alot. guessing 12-14mpg

[ascCapri]

not alot. guessing 12-14mpg


You got it....definitely not the most aerodynamic rig either.....Looks awfully large in the rear view mirror.....I would know, my lady friend dented my old Capri hatch with it. :HYF:

As for the heat, I am going to get a battery and find out. I don't want to say for certain, because it was off last time I drove it. I will find out.

[98cobradan]

still for sale? and does the heat work?

[ascCapri]

I need to get a battery for it first, had to fix my daily driver to get to work tomorrow, but will try to get a battery in it, and test the heat and oil pressure gauge.

[98cobradan]

where is liberty township?

[ascCapri]

North of West Chester, South of Monroe. If you aren't from around Cincy, it's between Cincy and Dayton.....about 25 miles from the river, and 30 miles to Dayton.

well when ever u get a chance to check the heat out and trouble shoot the oil pressure i may come and look at it

[ascCapri]

Got a battery in it today.....changed the oil. The little I had it idling in the driveway, blew luke warm air from the vents. It had good heat when it was parked, as it was a daily driver for my girlfriend until she bought her Jeep. Grounded out the oil pressure gauge and it only moved a third, so short of pulling a cluster from the yard, another gauge would be an option....but I am done working on it. The more I work on it, the more I would love to keep it, but it's just one more project that I can't waste any more time on. Take a look if you are interested.

[ascCapri]

Sorry, can't go that low. Great project truck, just needs someone's time.

['92Stang]

[ascCapri]

[rhack04]

[ascCapri]

1500$ is her bottom dollar.
